A Deori ballad in loving memory of a departed husband, sung by Bornalee
An album of Assamese and Hindi pop/rock songs
Story behind the song
It's said that really good people are recalled quickly by God. This song was written by Amina Deori in memory of her husband, a man loved by all, who suddenly died one night without any obvious cause. He was just in his early 30s. The couple had two children.
Lyrics
(The lyrics lose a bit of their context upon translation, but here they are.)
In the lake
These young fish
You left behind
Left behind alone
My beautiful beloved
In the river
Like floating debris
You left us behind
My beautiful beloved
Cruel fate
With no way out
It's like we're lost
In this wilderness
